After hearing Mu Shanshan's explanation, Lin Fei felt a flutter in his heart but without much hesitation, he directly embraced Mu Shanshan's jade-like fragrant shoulder, staring straight into her eyes with his tiger-like gaze, and said, "Wife, I understand what you mean. You don't need to think too much about it, you just need to know that your husband is very amazing."
Lin Fei was indeed very amazing, being the soul of the Hell's Judgement Organization. If Lin Fei could not be considered outstanding, then there would be few men in the world who could be deemed excellent.
However, Lin Fei's excellence, to some extent, was not something that could be publicly proclaimed and taken pride in, as Mu Shanshan might wish.
After all, even among some of the upper echelons within Mo Country, few knew about Hell's Judgement.
This certainly had a lot to do with the fact that Hell's Judgement had never entered Mo Country. However, it was more because the two circles didn't intersect at all.
Therefore, even if Lin Fei disclosed his identity and experiences to Mu Shanshan, it clearly wouldn't be something she could take pride in.
After all, in the eyes of ordinary people, the profession of a mercenary is synonymous with danger and violence.
Although Lin Fei enjoyed absolute prestige in the Mercenary World and the Hell's Judgement Organization was incredibly strong, to those unfamiliar with the international mercenary world, Lin Fei would at most be seen as a mercenary leader who risked his life for money.
To Mu Shanshan's family, which belonged to the bureaucratic nobility, without understanding Hell's Judgement's influence, they would likely look down on Lin Fei, the mercenary leader who risked his life for money.
Thus, Lin Fei did not explain to Mu Shanshan about his series of experiences abroad. To some extent, it was also for Mu Shanshan's benefit.
However, Mu Shanshan, who dreamt of her husband's honor bringing her glory, was clearly dissatisfied with Lin Fei's seemingly perfunctory response.
Mu Shanshan gazed solemnly at Lin Fei for a while, and before Lin Fei could provide further explanation, she said coldly, with a hint of dissatisfaction, her delicate eyebrows furrowed, "I don't know about your prowess in other aspects, but your skill in flirting certainly is impressive!"
In her cold critique of Lin Fei, it was evident that Mu Shanshan was quite displeased, but she could also see that getting Lin Fei to honestly recount his past experiences seemed unlikely.
Therefore, feeling displeased, Mu Shanshan chose to ignore Lin Fei, turning her head away.
Clearly displaying an angry, don't-talk-to-me sort of attitude.
Had they been in the office on a normal day, seeing Mu Shanshan's seemingly sulking cold demeanor, Lin Fei would probably have sensibly walked away.
However, they were currently on a plane, and in the entire first-class cabin, there weren't many people.
Among them, Mu Shanshan was the only one Lin Fei could talk to.
Thus, even knowing that Mu Shanshan was currently in a bad mood,
The long journey and his lack of sleepiness left Lin Fei no choice but to thicken his skin and lean closer.
"Wife, I'm really happy that you want to take pride in your husband. But the nature of my past work mostly doesn't fall within the normal scope. So, unfortunately, when we visit your grandfather this time, I might not be able to make you proud of me."
Seeing that Mu Shanshan still had no intention of responding to him, Lin Fei simply acted, turning her jade-like shoulder so that her nearly perfect, world-stunning face faced him.
Thus, Lin Fei stared straight into Mu Shanshan's charming eyes with a slightly serious expression, speaking word by word, "Even though I can't make you proud of me at your grandfather's house this time. But I can swear to heaven. Once we arrive at your grandfather's house, no matter what happens, I will never let you suffer any injustice. I swear, absolutely not!"
Lin Fei's last words were not simply reiterating his previous oath. Rather, it was an oath to Mu Shanshan as the soul of the Hell's Judgement Organization.
It sounded like a vow, but it was actually a responsibility.
Originally, Lin Fei hadn't planned to accompany Mu Shanshan to celebrate her grandfather's birthday. After all, when Mu Hong mentioned it, Lin Fei had already guessed that Mu Shanshan's relationship with her grandfather's family wasn't good.
Now, hearing from Aunt Lan that Mu Shanshan's grandfather's family had no recognition for Mu Hong, and even looked down on him.
This trip to celebrate Mu Shanshan's grandfather's birthday,
Even without much thought, Lin Fei could guess that Mu Shanshan's grandfather's family wouldn't be too courteous to him and Mu Shanshan.
Of course, this wasn't the main issue.
The main issue was that Lin Fei knew clearly, given Mu Shanshan's temperament, she wouldn't show her grandfather's family any pleasantries.
With both sides displeased with one another, disagreements could easily arise, escalating tensions further.
Especially as Mu Shanshan didn't sincerely intend to celebrate her grandfather's birthday.
Lin Fei's preemptive oath was undoubtedly to give Mu Shanshan a sense of reassurance ahead of time!
Lin Fei's explanation and oath to Mu Shanshan could actually be understood in another way.
"Although I can't make you proud of me, whatever you want to do, just go ahead and do it. I'm willing to be your solid support, and I'll handle all the consequences. No matter what you do, I will never let you suffer any injustice."
This was what Lin Fei truly wanted to convey to Mu Shanshan. At the same time, it was Lin Fei's promise to her and the purpose of this trip.
Having been married to Lin Fei for more than half a year, Mu Shanshan naturally could understand his underlying meaning.
Thus, as Lin Fei's words ended, Mu Shanshan couldn't help but fall into silence, moved.
Just as Lin Fei thought, Mu Shanshan decided to go celebrate her grandfather's birthday not purely out of a desire to celebrate. In fact, one could say she wasn't going to celebrate at all.
After all, had it not been for the firm disapproval from her grandfather's family, Mu Shanshan's mother would not have suffered from heart disease and passed away prematurely.
Therefore, Mu Shanshan naturally didn't have much goodwill toward her grandfather's family.
It wasn't a matter of filial piety, but more of a resentment and even hatred stemming from understanding her mother's experiences.
Anyone in Mu Shanshan's position would clearly not have much sincere intention of celebrating the birthday.
Lin Fei could see this and gave her verbal support, even willingly serving as her solid backing.
In Mu Shanshan's heart, beyond being moved, she felt fortunate.
Fortunate to have found a husband like Lin Fei, who, no matter where or when, could understand and support her.
Of course, her greatest fortune was that Lin Fei had enough ability to be her strong support.
This allowed her to be willful without any worries.
This time, under the guise of celebrating a birthday, she actually wanted to use the occasion to be completely willful...
